This was a pilot episode for a regular TV show, so "the whole thing" would be almost 30 minutes long.

There was a period of six months between when HSM was filmed and when it first aired on the Disney Channel. No one knew it was going to be such a big hit, so naturally everyone kept looking for other work. Zac was piling up money for college, so he kept auditioning and booking new jobs.

Well, HSM made him famous, but Hairspray killed his college career. Zac was enrolled at the University of Southern California's film school, but he won the part of Link in Hairspray and this movie was filmed in July-November 2006. Since his classes would have begun in September, right in the middle of filming, he deferred his enrollment. Then he had to do HSM2, and so on, so he never actually started at university. I think he made the right decision. Here's a pertinent quote:

"Initially with High School Musical, it was working just to work - I kind of considered it my farewell project to the entertainment industry. I was looking forward to going to film school at the time."
